dreams

Originally i wanted to a post on Theogamia, the festival dedicated to Zeus Teleios and Hera Teleia, but something else . On the night of monday to tuesday i had a really disturbing nightmare that shock me to my core. 

Night. I was lying in my bed, sleeping. It was snowing outside. My bedroom door was open. Light reflected from the snow came in the room through the door., light that came from the window in my livingroom. I wake up. My eyes turned towards the door. There it was. A dark, human figure standing in the doorway. I could not see any features on it, except that it looked human. The figure was pitch black. I knew i had locked the front door of my appartment as I always check it before going to bed. So I knew that the chance of this being a burglar was slim. As i noticed that it was looking at me, watching me, I felt disturbed by it, but not threatened by any way. I could move my head, my body, but i was mesmorized by the figure. Mesmorized and disturbed at the same time. It is a weird feeling to say the least. My heart was racing. Then, all of the sudden, the figure turns around and walks away. I could not see it anymore. This disturbed me even more.
Than i wake up from this dream. My heart was still racing. I felt disturbed by the dream I just had. I sit upright in my bed, thinking by myself: that was a really creepy, weird dream i just had. But was it “just” a dream that I had?

I know of instances people reporting that they were visited by beings in their dreams. Gods, spirits, can enter our dreams. I don’t doubt that. The thing is, i was getting the message from this nightmare that i was being watched. At first it was disturbing. Being watched by a dark figure standing in your doorway. Its not reassuring at all. Now that the dust has settled, i’m starting to think that this was not what the message was. 

Every night, I pray to the Gods to watch over me while im sleeping, to keep me and my loved ones safe. What if, this was a reply from the Gods stating that they are indeed watching over me, or at least one God. I cant help shake the feeling that my God Aidoneos. It makes sense. He is King of the Underworld and the dream Gods Morpheus and Hypnos do live there. Dealing with a God of the Underworld means that when he makes contact it will be disturbing as hell and he delivers on that, no doubt about that.
